no idea what the last posts are and how y'all got to this discussion but i have begun to tell people that i take "that's valid" as sarcasm simply because of its overuse. i'm not even doing it maliciously i just genuinely can't tell anymore.

Came about over a simple typo. Calidate instead of validate. Buddy says calidate sounds like a word but validate doesn’t as it’s never used. Just to catch you up

Calidate instead of validate.

For someone who might not be a native English speaker, or someone otherwise unfamiliar to the English language, "validate" may not be a very familiar English word. Especially if they're only used to using English for talking to people for normal conversation, I don't think it would be very natural to use any variation of the word "valid" constantly in conversation, unless you're trying to be captain of the debate team, president of the science club, vice president of the fashion club, or are only talking to customer service representatives.
